Last Minute Holiday Treats
/I love my job, but if I could quit my job and just stay home and bake all day, I'd be the happiest. And probably the fattest. This time of year especially, all I want to do is bake.
I'm a little down to the wire, but I still had a few special people I wanted to gift with a little something. I made up a batch of my peppermint bark and cookie butter rice krispie treats, with festive sprinkles, of course. Packaged them up and I'm getting them delivered today. Below I have rounded up tasty holiday treats, some made by me, the rest inspired by others. Co-workers, neighbors, classmates, instructors, yourself ;), anyone who is still left on your list would love one of these treats! Just click on any picture above for it to take you to the recipe.
The first few recipes are pulled from the TAB archives, but these other gorgeous recipes are from the gals below!
Baked by Rachel's Chocolate Eggnog Cupcakes with Eggnog Cream Cheese Frosting
Sally's Baking Addiction's Peppermint Mocha Cookies
Cookie + Kate's Peppermint Bark Popcorn
Local Roots Dietitian's Healthy Holiday Peppermint Brownies
And Ina's Spicy Hermit Bars
And because it's the season of giving, I'm giving you a few more ideas that could easily be transformed Christmasy with a few sprinkles or red & green colored candies like my Signature Sugar Cookies (we make these for santa every year), Cookie Butter Rice Krispies, Cookie Butter Popcorn, M&M Cookie Pizza, Homemade Pop Tarts and Slutty Brownies.
I'm spicing my sugar cookies up a bit this year and adding crystallized ginger in them. Inspired by Ina of course. Because WWTBCD? Add crystallized ginger to her sugar cookies! I'll keep you posted on how they turn out.
